After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, the country introduced the charge of international terrorism, which can carry a sentence of up to 15 years jail.

Wow!! That is pretty severe for planning to kill and maim lots of innocent people!

Good to hear. Back in the 60s & 70s Italy, especially Rome airport, was a conduit for Palestinian terrorists and the like.

Islamic extremists don't exist -- they are merely people who have been insulted by insolent and insensitive Eurocentric bigots. /sarc

The Dutch "get it" as well.

A damn shame, however, that our best ally in said country is a sleazy media mogul.

All of our allies will be sleazy as painted by the global left-wing media. Silvio is no more sleazy than George. Both are reviled relentlessly by the global left wing and global left wing media.
These people wear Che Guevara shirts and think Pinochet was an evil despot, when in fact, even he was a heroic freedom fighter.
Don't fall for the lies and propaganda of the left.
